MV: In Islam we have lots of prophets, 25 are mentioned in the Quran. Prophet Ibrahim is a very important prophet in Islam. So we should learn about all the prophets we can and learn about their teachings and miracles. One of Prophet Ibrahim’s ‘s miracles was that he was put in a fire for 40 days and he lived because Allah made the fire like flowers and the smell of flowers, pretty interesting right? Read about his summary below.

Long before the time of Muhammad (S) people worshiped idols in a country called Mesopotamia (now called Iraq),in the city of Ur. There lived a man named Ibrahim. He did not believe in idols.

Once Prophet Ibrahim also known as Khaliullah (friend of Allah) had a father named Azar, he worshipped idols. One day he went to his father and asked “How can you pray to a piece of stone?” Then Azar got really angry and warned Ibrahim not to ask those questions. Ibrahim felt sorry for his people.

One day Ibrahim got an idea, one night people were celebrating a festival, but Ibrahim went to the temple where all he idols were kept. He asked “How do you do?” There was no reply. Then he got a club or an axe and broke all of the idols except for the biggest one, which he put the axe around his neck.

After the festival people went to pray at the temple, they were furious when they saw what happened to the idols. They asked Ibrahim, “Did you do this?” He replied, “Why don’t you ask the idols.” “But Ibrahim you know that the idols that can’t speak or hear.” Ibrahim replied, “Then why do you worship something that doesn’t speak or hear?” people became outrageous, so they prepared a fire for him. Allah favored Ibrahim because he did the right thing. So Ibrahim was in the fire for 40 days but Allah made it feel like he was surrounded by flowers.

When Ibrahim was a lot older and a prophet of Allah, he had a dream that Allah is telling him to travel and preach. So Ibrahim went to Canaan. He brought his wife Sarah and his nephew Prophet Lut. In Canaan hetaught about Allah, and then he moved to Egypt. It was there he married his second wife Hagar. Sarah was happy, she wanted a baby in the family but she was too old. Hagar and Ibrahim had a son named Ismail.

Ibrahim took them back to Mecca, but Ibrahim had to leave to Canaan, Mecca with her boy, Ismail. Not long after the water had ran out. Hagar went looking for water, she ran from the hills of Safa and Marwah 7 times. Then a burst of water came out where Ismail was playing. This water came from a well named Zamzam, it‘s holy water and still here today. again. Hajar knew that he had to go so she stayed in

One day angels (disguised as men) came to Prophet Ibrahim. They told him that Sarah will have a son that will be a prophet named Iss’haq. Prophet Ibrahim went back to Mecca.

One night in Ibrahim’s dream Allah told him to sacrifice his son Ismail. He told Ismail and he agreed to be sacrificed. They went to Mina and he laid down Ismail to kill him. Then as soon as he was about to kill him he replaced Ismail with a goat, and Ibrahim killed the goat. This is the story why we have Eid-ul-Adha.

Later Ibrahim and his son built the Kaaba, and by the Kaaba today are Ibrahim’s foot prints. He died at age 120 from old age.

This was actually a paper I did in school so instead of having a source I have a bibliography.

mashallah. i benefited a lot from this post. i was actually given an assignment to do based on the story of the prophet ibrahim. i knew most of the story i did not know the order. thank you very much and may Allah swt reward this person with more knowledge and guide him/her in the right path and may he help all of us to learn more and grant us with a good life in this world and in the hereafter. Ameen.

azar was his uncle not his father .Any prohpet’s parents can never be disbelievers , prohpet abrahim used to call his uncle “abu” in arabic also used for addressing “father ” so when translated in english some ppl confuse it and think that azar was the prophets father . i heard this when i was very young cant give any link to it . please find it out if u guys can .

quran or hadees translated cant give out the exact translation any any other languages so to understand quran or hadees completely and exactly we need to learn some arabic too .

Mashaallah.my name is ISMAIL.4RM NIGERIA.i can see that he did a very good work. Because he agree wit a fear of allah.to let his father make his promise to allah.at the end it was joy.allauh akbar.may the peace of allah be upon him and his family also his follower
